Thnks john but surely this whole crisis was priced in before this week. We already had a big drop when this whole thing emerged.

My 1c - the priced in rule doesn't apply to banks. And the current trend is only bad if you bought in at the high, as I did. It's cr@ppy.

I bought what i thought was the low only to see it going down further. What you doing now Chatty holding on till it hopefully turns or you going to stop the bleeding and get out? Thinking of getting out and catching new bottom wherever that might be.

Banks are trending downwards short term,so dont try and catch the bottom until there is a reversal.

catchig bottoms is DANGEROUS, and hoping is just as bad - manage your money properly and live to trade another day i.e. stop the madness and stop the bleeding
